Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, there are times that you may need to access the services of a commercial lease lawyer. As disputes in commercial leasing are not uncommon and the consequences for a business (particularly in retail) and to the investment of the lessor can be dire, it is important to ensure that disputes are avoided where possible and where they arise, resolved quickly and commercially.
A good commercial lease lawyer will help guide you through your rights and responsibilities as either landlord or tenant under state regulations to resolve the conflict, and ensure that your rights, property and business are protected.

Our services are comprehensive and we engage deeply with our customers to understand what their priorities are with respect to their property or business. This is what makes us the best property law firm in Sydney for assistance with your commercial, retail or industrial lease.
With over 15 years of experience in supporting businesses across a wide variety of sectors, at ABP Lawyers we see ourselves as a true partner to your business and interests. We celebrate the successes with you and aim to limit the extent of your losses through the difficult times with proven outcomes.
We also seek to add value in everything that we do. We’re a specialist boutique law firm that allows us to have direct relationships with our customers. Larger firms will have clients deal with assistants and rarely speak directly to a lawyer. When you come to us, you will have direct contact with your commercial lease lawyer whenever you need them.
We also understand the need for expediency. When you reach out to us, you can expect an answer promptly. It’s for these reasons (and more) that we have been honoured with a top-10 position in both property law and business law, and in 2020 was awarded as the boutique property law firm of the year by Global Law Experts.
When you engage with a commercial lease lawyer, you want to have full transparency; a mixture of sound and honest advice and guidance, and clarity on fees. We will only ever be honest with our clients – even if the advice is difficult – and we have adopted a fixed fees approach to our work wherever possible (and when it isn’t possible you will be given full transparency into costs). We don’t watch the clock and we genuinely care about our clients. Most of our clients have been with us for many years, because they know they can have the honest conversation with us, and that we will always support them ethically and positively as we grow our businesses together.
Across Sydney, many of the landlords of commercial, and industrial property are from the city’s vibrant multi-ethnic community. For these groups of people, being able to trust that they understand the law, their rights and obligations, is critical, but legal documents can be dense and filled with jargon. Having someone that can communicate with them and interpret these documents in plain language is a valuable service that a commercial lease lawyer can offer. In addition to English, our team is fluent in both major Chinese dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese. Through our service, landlords that don’t have English as their first language can be assured that their intentions are not “lost in translation” and won’t run into unpleasant surprises through the legal system, and they can then focus their energies on driving the best possible outcomes for their business.
And, for our clients that regularly deal with the multilingual business community, our ability to act as a “language bridge” will help ensure a positive outcome for all parties.
If you are in need of a commercial lease lawyer, or have a potential legal issue that you’re not sure what the next steps should be, please contact us on (02) 8880 6505. We can assist in all matters, and we would love the opportunity to start a conversation about how we can help.
